HAVANA, Cuba (AP) — An island-wide blackout hit Cuba on Monday as fuel reserves dwindle and its electric grid continues to crumble. The blackout was reported by Cuba’s Electric Union, which said on X that the cause was under investigation. Fuel has been running out across Cuba since January when U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to the island, deepening the island's ongoing economic and financial crisis. Public transportation has largely been halted, and officials have canceled tens of thousands of surgeries.

At least 19 people in New Jersey are believed to have died from heat-related causes after several days of record-breaking temperatures, according to state officials. Many of the victims were found in homes without air conditioning as temperatures climbed above 100 degrees in parts of the state. Officials say the prolonged heat placed dangerous stress on vulnerable residents. As the heat wave begins to ease, severe storms have swept across the eastern U.S., knocking out power to nearly one million homes and businesses and raising concerns about additional flash flooding and dangerous weather.

The Trump administration plans to open a new 528-bed ICE facility in central Louisiana designed to process migrant families and unaccompanied children awaiting deportation. The facility will be built at a former military base in Alexandria, adjacent to one of the nation's busiest hubs for deportation flights. Immigration and Customs Enforcement describes the site as a "staging facility," not a detention center. Immigration advocates say the proposal raises concerns about whether children could be held longer than limits established under existing court agreements and legal protections.
